These parks focus on the Lego building toy brand. They are owned by a British company called Merlin Entertainments. Most attractions are made for children between the ages of 2 and 12. You can find many different things to do at these parks. There are outdoor flat rides and dark rides. You might also find interactive play structures or splash pads. Many parks even have special stations where you can play with Lego bricks.

Each park has many different themed areas for visitors to explore.

One very special area is called Miniland. In Miniland, people build tiny versions of famous landmarks using Lego bricks. For example, Legoland Malaysia has a Miniland with many Asian landmarks. Legoland Dubai has a very large indoor Miniland too. That park uses 15 million Lego bricks to make over 15,000 different models! Some parks also include water parks or even hotels for families to stay in.

The history of Legoland began many years ago in Europe.

The very first Legoland Billund Resort opened in Billund, Denmark, in 1968. It was built near the original Lego factory. Since then, many more parks have opened around the world. The Legoland Windsor Resort in the United Kingdom opened in 1996. It is actually the largest Legoland park in the world by area. This park is about five times larger than the one in Billund.

There are 12 Legoland parks operating around the world today.

You can see how tiny bricks can build huge cities. Some parks even add new themes like Peppa Pig. Legoland Deutschland will add a Peppa Pig Park in 2024. This makes it the second resort to have a theme that is not Lego. There are also plans for more parks in the future. New resorts are being planned for Beijing and Shenzhen in China.
